Abstract

MEDIçãO DELICADA DE UTILIZAçAO DE COMPUTADOR. Um computador do tipo "pague por uso" ou de uso medido utiliza um gerenciador de extrato para monitorar a utilização e atualizar um extrato de valores de acordo com uma primeira programação de uso quando o computador está em um uso ativo. Quando o nível de atividade do computador é reduzido abaixo de um limite, o gerenciador de extrato pode atualizar o extrato de valor de acordo com uma segunda programação de utilização. O nível de atividade do computador é determinado pelo monitoramento do nível de atividade de um ou mais componentes do computador incluindo dispositivos de entrada, controladores de comunicação e a unidade de processamento. As regras podem ser aplicadas para se determinar quando se comutar entre as programações de utilização e se créditos ao extrato de valor devem ser realizados.DELICATE COMPUTER MEASUREMENT. A pay-per-use or metered-use computer uses an extract manager to monitor usage and update a statement of values on a first-time schedule when the computer is in active use. When the computer activity level is reduced below a threshold, the extract manager can update the value extract according to a second usage schedule. Computer activity level is determined by monitoring the activity level of one or more computer components including input devices, communication controllers, and the processing unit. Rules can be applied to determine when to switch between usage schedules and whether credit to value statements should be realized.
